ABSTRACT The June 2020 Black Lives Matter protests which took place at the Cenotaph and the Winston Churchill memorial in London triggered national debate in the United Kingdom regarding the roles that memorials play in urban spaces. Stoked by media sensationalism, public discourse and action became increasingly vitriolic in the weeks following the protests. This contribution to Debates and Interventions problematizes this divisive understanding of memorialization by demonstrating the relationality of collective memory and counter-memory, which ostensibly were competing rationales that drove the protests. By establishing collective memory and counter-memory as co-dependent concepts, this intervention proposes that their synthesis would enable the public to openly mediate their relationships with urban memorial sites and thus enrich our understanding and experience of contested urban spaces.

ABSTRACT This paper focuses on the politics of inclusion produced in the roll-out of recent Solid Waste Management (SWM) initiatives seeking to formalize informal recycling labor in India. I contest the notion that formalization is necessarily the antidote to the precarities of informal work by taking seriously the experiences of women recyclers and organizers in responding to exclusions produced in the city of Ahmedabad's increasingly privatized solid waste landscape since the early 2000s. Drawing upon mixed qualitative methods and interviews with women recyclers and organizers, I argue that recent governance initiatives discursively aiming to “integrate” informal recyclers in SWM can paradoxically result in the material exclusion of most workers from opportunities. This paper contributes an articulation of how livelihood opportunities, organizing strategies, and citizenship experiences are always shifting and contingent in relation to local groundings of capitalist and colonial power geometries and dynamics of gendered and casted social differentiation.

ABSTRACT Housing microfinance is transforming Africa’s urban peripheries. While many actors, factors, and processes are driving the financialization of peripheral urban Africa, social enterprises and fintech (financial technology) play a key role in making these spaces the “new real estate frontier”. At the same time, efforts to promote financial inclusion are hampered by longstanding challenges related to informality and state bureaucracy that are becoming important sites of regulatory reform and political contestation. The rise of housing micro-finance in urban Africa poses important questions and calls for more critical geographical research. In this piece, I highlight three themes that deserve particular attention: models and impacts, informality and fintech, and restructuring of states and urban governance.

ABSTRACT Through the Choice Neighborhoods Initiative (CNI), private investors and developers replace distressed US public housing with new mixed-income and mixed-use developments. Although these projects promote community involvement and are purported to prioritize community input and to benefit residents, private investors have disproportionate power and often modify redevelopment to favor the market-rate units while receiving tax incentives, extremely low-cost and long-term land-leases, and government funds for demolition, construction, maintenance, and management. Through a CNI program in Denver (US) we identify and examine the hardships experienced by its residents. CNI transitioned residents toward modern living amenities and mixed-income arrangements but with a loss of community and negatively impacted residents’ mental and physical health. Our initial findings highlight how this regeneration process can lead to degeneration, displacement, fragmented communities, and poor health outcomes for residents. Federal and local agencies should commit to programs that ensures collaborative community-centred planning from beginning to end.
